D. Post Reading

1. Comprehension Check
Find your partner and answer the following
questions. (worksheet #2)
2. Literary Extender
Based on the story create a slogan or a
quotation about the story. (worksheet #3)
3. Skill development (worksheet # 4)
While both similes and metaphors are used to
make comparisons, the difference between
similes and metaphors comes down to a word.
Similes use the words like or as to compare
things— “Life is like a box of chocolates.” In
contrast, metaphors directly state a
comparison— “Love is a battlefield.”

Now class can you give me an example of the

two based on the story? "She did not hear the story as many women have
heard the same, with a paralyzed inability to accept its
significance." This line employs a simile, a comparison
of two unalike things that uses like or as. The narrator
compares Louise's response to the news of her
husband's death to the response other women have
had to similar news, stating that they are not at all the
same.

Mrs. Mallard cried wildly and "When the storm of grief

had spent itself she went away to her room alone."
Her tearful fit is compared to a storm as it sounds,
perhaps, like it was violent and productive of many
tears (just like a storm would produce a lot of rain).
